TOPIC: God Never Disappoints
MEMORISE: It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. – Psalm 118:8 (KJV)
Text: Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
MESSAGE:
After I surrendered my life to Christ, all I wanted to do was please God. Then, one day, the person who brought me into the Christian faith disappointed me so much that I wanted to return to the world. I was truly hurt by his actions, and I thought that it was better to return to the world than waste my time in the church. As I pondered on his actions with much pain in my heart, I heard God ask me, “Son, have I ever disappointed you?” I replied, “No.” Afterwards, He comforted me and instructed me not to put my absolute trust in anyone except Him alone because He will never fail me.
No matter how strong your relationship is with some people, human beings are imperfect and may let you down; however, God is completely reliable and trustworthy. He’s the only One you can fully lean on, no matter the situation.
My dear child, you may have been hurt by those you hold in high esteem, and you may have decided to backslide as a result. Please don’t; rather, pour out your heart to God in prayers. Ask Him to take away the pain and help you to put all your trust in Him. Also, pray for those who have hurt you, as Jesus said in Matthew 5:44. I pray that as you put all your trust in God, you will experience His comfort and mighty power, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT:
God is the only One who will always have your back. Trust in Him, and He won’t fail you.
